TDP National President and CM N Chandrababu Naidu launched a scathing attack on PM Modi in the wake of LK Advani’s remarks. Naidu said that Advani has just correctly put it in a subtle manner how Modi has been crippling not only the democratic institutions in the country but also his own Bharatiya Janata Party. After Modi took over, the BJP is no longer its former self that followed moral, ethical and democratic principles of tolerance and brotherhood.
Chandrababu has also tweeted in response to Advani’s remarks. Advani has said it is never the BJP’s tradition to treat opposition party leaders as anti-nationals. Naidu said that under Modi’s leadership, the BJP has attacked at the very roots of Indian democracy. It is evident from how opposition parties’ leaders are being targetted by grossly misusing national institutions like the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Enforcement Directorate, the Income Tax department and so on.
In a way, anti-Modi sentiment is being roused in an indirect manner by TDP boss. This is how Naidu is getting wider attention from the voters who are unhappy over the 2014 AP state separation.
